At the same time, Secretary Xu Gang, upon hearing the situation, rushed over with his men. Just as they reached the outside of the shelter, they heard Ruan Ruan's words. He stopped his hurried steps, wanting to see what else the girl would say.

Before the crowd could figure out these issues, Ruan Ruan continued, "This is your home. After the disaster, you shouldn't wallow in self-pity. You should use your abilities to protect your home instead of just waiting here, because you won't get any results."

Hearing Ruan Ruan shatter their hopes, yes, they were waiting, waiting for the country, waiting for the leaders to give them an explanation. In this earthquake, they had lost everything, they needed hope, a hope that could help them cheer up.

"But what can we do now besides wait?" A young man clenched his fists, stood up, and asked Ruan Ruan with a defiant look on his face.

“Right now, you’re all the most useless things. See them?” Ruan Ruan said, pulling Bai Sirui, who was standing behind her, over to them. “When they received the news that an earthquake was about to happen here, they rushed to you from afar to save your lives. They had already finished their work, but now the supplies sent from all over the country are stuck outside and can’t get in. So they’ve started clearing the obstacles on the road. But there are only a few of them. By the time they finish clearing, our food here will probably be all gone. Do you all want to wait here and starve?”

One of them reacted, and Ruanruan continued to hit it. They were very happy to hear that someone was bringing them supplies, but when they heard that the supplies couldn't get in and that they would go hungry in two days, they knew that wouldn't do.

"Let's go together, let's clean up together." Just now they thought Ruan Ruan's words were harsh, but now they all stood up.

"Yes, let's go together, let's go together."

"Yes, many hands make light work. Maybe we can clean up the railway in one day."

With one person taking the lead, everyone else followed suit and walked out.

“The doctor is right, Tangcheng is our home, and we will rebuild our home ourselves.”

"Rebuild Our Home!" The group walked straight into the city past Percy and his companions, chanting slogans as they went.

Watching the villagers walk away, Bai Sirui and his companions had to admit, "You really are something else."

Thinking about how he had just stood there like a clown, talking to everyone, and no one paid any attention to him, Bai Sirui shook his head.

"That's the art of speaking, learn from it!" After saying that, Ruan Ruan tossed the megaphone back into his arms and slowly walked back to continue eating.

After watching Ruan Ruan return to the infirmary, the group turned around to follow her when they saw Secretary Xu standing outside the wall. After exchanging greetings, Bai Sirui quickly followed.

"Secretary, what should we do?" Just now the secretary was telling them to pay attention to the emotions of the masses, but now this person has stirred up the emotions of the masses with just two sentences, making them look very useless.

"What should we do? Didn't you hear what they said? Rebuild our homes." After saying that, the secretary ignored them and walked back.

The subsequent work progressed smoothly.

Huo Haocheng, who was leading people to carry larger cement bricks out, was startled when he saw the large crowd walking towards them.

A minute later, when they got closer, Huo Haocheng could finally hear what they were shouting.

"Rebuild homes?" So they're here to help.

Ten minutes later, Huo Haocheng watched the busy crowd, who quickly cleaned up the litter on the street in twos and threes, confirming that they had indeed come to help.

Not only here, but professionals from the railway and highway sides also went to help.

The young and strong helped lift the large objects, while the older ones stood in a line and used a conveyor belt to transport broken bricks and cement blocks. The women helped clear the branches along the roadside, and the clever ones even used branches to make brooms to sweep away the dirt and glass shards on the ground.

In just one day, half of the obstacles on the railway and highways were cleared, and the main roads in the city were also cleared.

Everyone returned after dark. Just like last night, after dinner, all the doctors in the shelter set up the treatment table and asked them to come one by one after finishing their meal so that they could clean their wounds.

Because everyone was exhausted after a long day, they quickly washed up after applying the medicine and went back to their sleeping spots to fall asleep immediately.

Sitting not far behind Ruan Ruan and the others, Huo Haocheng and the others ate their meals slowly while listening to Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaolin recount Ruan Ruan's words from that morning in a manner reminiscent of a stand-up comedy routine.

At the end, Ruan Shaolin slapped Bai Sirui on the back and said in a smug tone, "This is the art of speaking. You should learn from it."

"...Hahahaha," the others burst into laughter at Ruan Shaolin's action and tone.

Only Huo Haocheng turned his head to look at his wife's back as she worked diligently.

He had always known that she upheld the dignity of soldiers and valued their lives highly. But today, she did what they all wanted to do: mobilize the masses, something that should have been done by the mayor, the party secretary, or even the military commander.

The people who bring hope to the people after a disaster should be the city's leaders, not a young girl like her.
